Keeping Jedburgh fleets on the road

Temporary driving recruitment built around the vehicle, the route and the start time.

The market around Jedburgh is a corridor market: long-haul and ferry-linked work rather than dense urban distribution. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.

Whether you run artics out of a distribution centre or vans on parcel rounds, temporary cover for Jedburgh starts with a short call about the work.

Much of the vehicle movement across southern Scotland starts at the A74(M) corridor and the Dumfries and Annan industrial estates, where early departures leave little room for a late driver.

Typical reasons to book

How it works

Booking cover in three steps

Tell us the requirement

Location, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.

Extending or ending cover

Tell us when the need changes. Cover can run on, step down or finish at the end of a shift.

Planned and urgent requests

Book holiday cover weeks ahead or send a same-week request. Both start the same way.

Planning cover

Getting the booking right first time

Planned cover is the easiest to arrange. Holidays, training days and known peaks can be booked in advance so the transport office is not firefighting on the day.

Shift patterns vary more in driving than in almost any other logistics role: early starts for store deliveries, nights for trunking and long days for multi-drop. We ask about the pattern before we match.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • The start date and first shift time
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
Compliance

Compliance first

Every booking is checked the same way: licence entitlement against the vehicle, a current Driver CPC for lorry work, a valid tachograph card and proof of right to work.

Where a job involves manual handling, customer contact or specialist equipment, we tell the driver before they accept the booking.
